Nice! Smooth edges, too. I will have to use this more often. Thank you!

Yes, I saw that movie in 1954 when I was in 8th grade. Here's the link; there's even a streaming option.

It was on a plane crash as he and some of the band were on the way to perform for the troops. The plane was never found and it was assumed that it went down over the Atlantic Ocean - I believe he was on his way from England. This was shown in the movie that was made about his life starring Jimmy Stewart as Glenn Miller and June Alyson as his wife. I saw the movie but can't tell you when it was made - probably early or middle 1950's.

Yes, I think we are all going to run and try that Masterclass, Marie-Claire! Those are lovely. Perfect, really.

These are beautiful. I have a dumb question. Is the font itself transparent? So that any layer below would show through? The look is really eye catching. I'm going to check out that class. I have been watching classes when I warm of for my workouts and seeing that the ones I saw when I first started I didnt really understand. Now that I've learned more I understand the concepts of the tutorials better. Enough to know that I can be successful at trying them.

The 2nd page will be that DIY Challenge of the Glen Miller Gardens (a pond in the gardens). It doesn't match my running themes of the trip, so I include it here as the 2nd page which goes with the coloring, etc. of the 1st page.

Learning scrapbooking is often done with practice, looking around for inspiration and trying to recreate projects we admire. This challenge will give you an opportunity to personalize a project while trying to "copy" another one. Of course, you will change the title, the text, and the photos, but you will want to try to replicate the arrangements and some of the effects you see. It is a challenge but in the end, you will learn more about scrapbooking and your PaintShop Pro. In honor of Mother's Day (at least in North America), here is a simple layout you will want to "scraplift". Although this layout was made in a rectangular format, you can easily use the basics in a square format. The translation for this says "Germain Handfield-Chauvette held, in her arms, three generations". And if you want more information on "scraplifting", check out this article.

Thank you , I just started watching. soon as the housework/errands are done I can finish watching it.

Michele, your card is wonderful -- such attention to detail, and the corners are perfect! (Somehow my eye always goes to the corners on rectangles and to the top center on circles.)

Thanks, Ann

Cutter tool is also available in the Preset Shapes tool. I found a video on Corel's site about it: How to Cut Out Shapes and Text - Corel Discovery Center

I had to look up Glenn Miller's death date, and discovered that he disappeared in 1944! I didn't know that.

Thanks, Rene. I never knew such a thing existed…I just selected and cut out of the paper. I guess I’ll have to play around with it to see and understand the benefits.

Text Tool!

Mary, your album is incredible. I love, love the cover and all the information you’ve added. I think this is something I might want to duplicate, too, someday. SOMEDAY. But for now I feel as if I’ve had a complete travelogue of the city from you! (I love the song, too, but I never knew the entire first stanza!)

Michele, this is cool! What is a text cutter, tho? I’ve never heard the term. (So I looked it up on the blog, but I do not know where the tool is in PSP 2022.) https://scrapbookcampus.com/2014/11/what-is-new-in-paintshop-pro-x7/ p.s. I hope you even see this post. I am behind on some of the threads!

That song reminds me of my parents and their collection of the Time-Life records they had. It's a great layout. Looking forward to seeing the actual physical book you ge made.

i love that song, and the Glenn Miller orchestra !

I've been busy making transparent alphas. With the help of Masterclass Alpha Making 2 I made the full upper and lower case alphabet and the digits, as well as some punctuation marks. Here I have posted some examples.

So, now I've finished the pictures of the Chattanooga Trip. I've completed what will go on the front of the album and the first page.

Finally finishing up the April Double-Page Challenge #6. Here is Shadow, one of the star black leopards at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, MN. She's quite a gal! I used the Vector Tube script on the title and the font is Ravie. The journaling font is Kleymissky. The background is my own Shiny Paper and the stars are from my Rustic Kit. The paperclip is from Marisa Lerin and I used the Open Book script with a gradient cover.

H = Happy, that's what we want to make our mothers!

I told mine that I could see through walls. They believed me! ?

I combined four or five different backgrounds including an old swirl I had made; erased some areas, used negative image on one, and played with the blend modes and opacity. The font is Rambutan from an old $1 deal from Font Bundles. Using the text cutter is a fun difference sometimes.
